The Life Science Growth House is the innovation unit for life sciences, health and technology at the University of Oslo (UiO).
The Growth House annual summary
We have put behind us a fantastically exciting year in the Life Science Growth House, where the door with our low-threshold innovation services was opened on 18 February 2022. So far, we have seen that it is useful to run internal value creation work where UiO's students and researchers are put in the driver's seat in interaction with the innovation ecosystem around us to put more knowledge to use.
